SOURCE-Blu Ray
While I heard about the Silent Hill games I never played any of them much. By the time they were coming out I was not playing many modern video games. So that first Silent Hill movie came out. I skipped it. Then one day years ago wanting something to watch bought it on DVD. Enjoyed it and when I saw the trailers for Return to Silent Hill I wanted to go see it. Never could work out a day that I could make it to the good theater up in Pearl MS. My local theater charges too much for subpar projection and sound. Day the blu ray came out I bought it and like what happens often it got put on the to be watched pile and sat.
A young man returns to Silent Hill,possibly to save someone named Mary. And it seems he is stuck in a time loop. This isn't a film with a deep plot. It relies on the creepy images and sound to tell it's story. Which works well for me. Again I don't know the games so I have no clue how close to the games this film is.
Our lead is an actor I have never seen before and he is decent in his role. The lead actress is another I have never seen. She does a great job with her part. The rest of the cast ain't bad.
I gotta say the practical FX work in the film looks great. Got a few scenes that feel like they are outta Society. Now the CGI work... some is decent and some looks like junk from a PS1 game.
Hearing this bombed,which sucks,cause I would love to see a sequel.
Return to Silent Hill gets a B-
